“I attacked her at a wedding, just after I got finished attacking the bride, and as a result, she got shipped around the world to the crappiest, most exploitative wrestling organization Gabby could find, while I got stuck wrestling in matches befitting my record and ability level… I think she might be mad about it!”
“So what? Who cares? She’s not relevant, because she got shipped around the world for months.”

Brooke just gained a point or two with me, nearly bringing her up to the level of “dirt.” Based on previous characterization, I’d have never guessed her capable of such amazing depths reflection on and analysis of the feelings of others.

Krystin, on the other hand, is losing me. In a big way. I can’t understand her attitude. I could get it if she was all “we can’t let the business get in the way of our friendship.” I could also understand the opposite viewpoint, “business first, friends a distant second, if that.” But no. She’s got the patience of a saint for Brooke, because Brooke has proven herself a valuable allya loyal frienda good listenerstable and reliable a pair of artificial knockers. Meanwhile, Sabrina has done absolutely nothing to earn this treatment, and just saved everyone’s bacon. I can only assume that Krystin is jealous of Sabrina’s initial push and early title opportunity, and/or sees Sabrina as a threat. Even then, though, why be cool to the person who just tried to cheat in a title win over her a few minutes ago, but nasty to the person who might be a threat in a few weeks? Madness.

Yeah, Krystin just lost me. Her logic is terribly flawed. Brooke tries to steal her title and that’s okay, but Sabrina comes from out of fucking nowhere and saves her ass from getting beaten up even worse and not so much as a ‘Thank God’? Where the hell is your mind, woman?

Well Albone you requested it so I got it posted The Great Cat Fight. Look in Forum, Creative Works, Cat Fight. I took out all the side comments to make it easier to read but this is pretty much the raw fight and no I didn’t try to turn it into a story

yeah Krystin’s coming off a bit odd here. unless there’s been some very well buried super jealousy that’s been hidden away all this time”hey brina let me teach you a submission move!”- remember those days Krystin?
she’s not really making too much sense considering brina’s never actively gone against Krystin except for the into Upstarts 4 way way back at the dawn of the comic.

unless Krystin’s feeling her “most successful of the Upstarts cause i got a title” spot is in trouble when the “ultra-pushed” one is now back. but then again “hey you helped me against those whore brooke so we’re cool. Unlike that ultragirl who most certainly didn’t come out to help us against those whores in any way shape or form.” Or Krystin can play the alpha with Brooke around- possibly even Sun but knows Brina could beat her so she’s starting her own recruiting?

Krystin always thought that she should have gotten the initial push that Sabrina got. Remember the 4-way where she wanted to end Sabrina career. To her, this was her big moment (First title defense) and all everyone is going to be talking about is that “Sabrina’s back”! Definitely a bit of jealousy.

Notice that Sabrina never talked about Krystin while in Japan. They are probably more like friendly acquaintances, rather than friends. Krystin friend was Brooke, so she’s glad to pick it up again.

Krystin is finally stating to think long-term. She needs protection if you wanted to hold onto the title. Brooke and Amanda provide that. Now, if she’s worried about Sabrina, her next move SHOULD be to arrange a sparring session with Callie. She has no idea of how good Sabrina got in Japan. Callie is the one person in Rival Angel who could tell her without A) The viewpoint being totally biased and B) any designs on her TV belt. Now Krystin being smart enough to ask her and Callie being willing to tell her is a totally different story….

i dunno, krystin deciding to help Brina get better (and thus more of a threat to her down the road) by showing her some submission style wrestling says more than “friendly acquaintance” at that time. maybe now she’s regretting it since she’s the “star” since she’s got the belt now.

i think the actual winning of the title would have been a much bigger moment for her “i finally did it mom and dad!” than a title defense against her only real friend (even if being bitchy the last few months) that she didn;t really want to hurt base one her commentary during the match.

or maybe she’s upset that none of the main factions in RA came begging her to join like she knows Belles did with brooke and D’Inc has been doing with Brina so she’s upet about that too.

Nice page. Glad to see Brooke and Krystin back on the same page. Both of them are going to need each other’s support.

Brooke, though, is right to be worried. Sabrina does want to pound her into the canvas. But I think that she has another more pressing concern at this moment.

Sun.

Sun is in a bad mood, and Brooke is finally allowed to wrestle on TV. Any bookmaker would look at this PPV and see…

A) Sun beating the former TV Champ
B) Sun and Amanda mixing it up
C) Sun telling off all of the Upstarts at the end

Brooke versus Sun is a perfect way to promote Sun as the number 1 contender to Krystin’s belt. Do this on the next TV show and add in Sabrina return (Give her Needles or Pagan to restart the Sabrina/Belle feud) and it’s rating heaven.

Sun never had a chance to tell/show Brooke what she really thinks about the whole fiasco. Brooke probably should fear that lesson.

“You stuck around?” Well that’s an interesting spin. It’s true. But it says so little. Maybe that’s because Brooke did so little other than watch.

It could have been a chance for Miss Silicon to turn heel, like my girl Mickie James did, when she “stuck around” while Velvet got pounded. But does Brooke have it in her to turn heel and be a serious threat?

Lets not forget that even if she did turn heel, Brooke would be about as threatening as Harvey Whippleman. Let us not forget what she had to do to FINALLY get out of developmental after being stuck there for 14 months. Then from there, her win/loss record was abysmal unless she was able to get outside interference from Amanda, and she only got the push to keep her from being stuck in dark matches because she had Michael wrapped around her little finger while her hand was wrapped around his….. anyways, you see my point. Face, Heel, or Tweener, Brooke’s no one to worry about

Hehehe, Krystin love is falling faster than shares of Facebook. Looks like she’s got “Gold Fever”. She’s got a belt, and now she thinks she’s the most impressive thing to hit wrestling since the Firebird Splash. That’s not only going to screw with her social life outside the ring, but also start to corrode her performance inside the ring, mostly when she’s having trouble beating an opponent she feels is beneath her. “I’m the champ, why haven’t I put this jobber away?” That leads to frustration, and a frustrated wrestler is a sloppy wrestler

So, here’s how I see it. Krystin is very not-happy about two things: The injury to her hand, and her successful title defence having gone all awry, and she is having trouble seeing past those two things just at the moment.

Whatever Brooke’s faults, (and she has many, many faults…) she isn’t responsible for either of those, so with her showing some reasonable facsimile of contrition, Krystin is inclined to cut her a bit of slack at the moment. Additionally, note that Brooke’s more egregious idiocies have landed upon Sabrina (or herself), whereas she’s done little directly to Krystin.

By contrast, Sabrina was a very big part of the transformation of the “Krystin’s successful title defence” scene into the “Oh look, Sabrina’s back” scene. And for the people saying Sabrina “saved” Krystin…how do you figure? Sabrina didn’t get anywhere near the ring until her hand was already injured, and I don’t recall her taking any shots afterward. Exactly who it was Sabrina saved is unclear to me, but expecting gratitude from Krystin right now seems wholly unwarranted.

I’d buy the “Krystin just likes Brooke better”/”Brooke hasn’t done anything to Krystin” thing more if Brooke had any redeeming qualities that didn’t double as flotation devices. She’s always been defined by being willing, even eager, to screw anything and anyone in any sense necessary to get what she wants, and has never given any indication of giving a crap about anyone else. I could see poor Amanda buying her line of BS, but Krystin?

It only makes sense if Krystin’s willingness to put up with a person’s BS is inversely proportional to how much of a threat she sees them as. Brooke just tried to steal the title with a king-sized stable doing ringside assist duty, sure, but now she’s been kicked out of Hell’s Belles and is back to padding the bottom of the roster, while Sabrina’s a legitimate threat.

Kenny knows the writing is on the wall when it comes to her relevance in this comic, much less Rival Angels. That’s bound to happen when the only title she’s supposed to contend for is won by back slide pin. It won’t be long until Ultraderp shows Krystin that all of her hard work trying to develop a personality while being a good hand is useless against the two-move wonder. A two move wonder with an excursion to Japan under her belt and managed not to learn a darn thing while there. That should hurt Kenny the most.
